Licensing is a state subject under the Act. In Telangana it runs through the Commissioner of Food Safety — in practice, the Commissioner of Food Safety, Telangana — with Registration granted by the Designated Officer (the district licensing officer) for your area and State Licences by the state licensing authority. A Central Licence is issued by FSSAI’s regional office.
Confirm the office that covers your ward with the Designated Officer before filing — jurisdictions inside a city change.
Hyderabad in practice
Hyderabad carries an unusual share of health-supplement and nutraceutical work, which is a Central Licence at any turnover (total yearly sales) and brings the Nutraceutical Regulations 2022 into play — permitted ingredients, limits and claims, not just a licence. The city’s catering and banquet trade is the other pattern: caterers cannot use Registration at any turnover.
- Every premises needs its own licence — a second outlet is a second file, not an amendment
- Consignments moving through Hyderabad air cargo — import and export files carry their own periods and documents
- Operating in two or more states adds a head-office Central Licence on top of the state licences
Three things that decide how this one goes.

Nutraceutical files are the ones that go wrong quietly here. The licence is only the entry ticket: the ingredient has to be permitted for that category, within its limit, and the claim on the label has to be one the regulations allow — which is a formulation review, not a filing.
- Health supplements and nutraceuticals are Central at any turnover
- Ingredient permissibility and limits are decided by schedule, not by what the supplier says
- Caterers cannot hold a Registration at any turnover — a State Licence is the floor

FSSAI licensing in Hyderabad — quick answers
Is a supplement brand in Hyderabad a Central Licence?
Yes. Nutraceuticals and health supplements are a Central kind of business (the category you register under) at any turnover, and the Nutraceutical Regulations 2022 govern what may go in the product and on the label.
Who administers licensing in Telangana?
The Commissioner of Food Safety, Telangana, with the Designated Officer for your area granting Registration.
How long does an FSSAI licence take in Hyderabad?
Registration is often granted within a few working days. A State or Central Licence is scrutinised and may be inspected, so plan for a few weeks — and longer if the officer raises a query. Most delays we see are document problems that could have been fixed before filing.
Is the government fee different from state to state?
No. ₹100 a year for Registration, ₹5,000 for a State Licence and ₹7,500 for a Central Licence are national. What varies is which office handles your file and how quickly it moves.
